Readings, news, voting!! and more

Literary Democracy

The ScotiaBank Giller Prize is adding a Readers Choice Contest through CBC - you can win pretty cool prizes just for entering! You choose a book to vote for and write a sentence or 2 about why you are voting for it. Mine is one of the choices.

The link is below to get to the CBC page with the info and link to voting. The deadline is Aug 28 - you have more chances of winning prizes the sooner you enter though. Perhaps you will consider voting for To the Edge of the Sea by yours truly. Or there are a whole raft of wonderful books - and great prizes.

Anne (E) Perdue reads from her new short story collection, I'm a Registered Nurse Not a Whore, and Anne (E) McDonald reads from her new novel, To the Edge of the Sea at A Different Drummer Bookstore in downtown Burlington, 531 Locust Street, Thurs Aug 25, 7:00 - 8:30. Books, signing, the whole bit! Come out and celebrate new fiction from the former escarpment ites!
